[Editor’s Note] Metauniverse, whose English name is Metaverse, originated from the sci-fi novel Avalanche, will shine brilliantly in 2021: from NVIDIA’s Lao Huang to Facebook’s Xiaozha, and then to Baidu, Netease and Tencent in China, Internet giants will occupy positions one after another. Is the first year of the meta-universe here?

By interviewing experts, practitioners and analysts in the industry, The Paper analyzed the "past lives" of the Meta-Universe, and explored Xiao He’s emerging Meta-Universe industrial chain and investment opportunities.

"An exciting opportunity is coming. The mobile Internet has developed for ten years and is about to usher in the next wave of upgrades. We call it the all-true Internet."

This is the end of 2020, Chairman and CEO of Tencent Ma Huateng issued a document in Tencent’s internal publications. At that time, the concept of the meta-universe was not popular, but now this sentence is quoted by many people because of the explosion of the meta-universe.

The concept of meta-universe has become popular, and domestic Internet technology companies are also accelerating their entry. Netease’s "Yaotai", Baidu’s "Xirang", Ali set up XR Lab, ByteDance acquired Pico to make up for the hardware shortcomings, and Tencent is investing in related companies. It is also paying attention to related technologies to build a larger digital scene …

According to the data from Tianyancha, as of December 30, 2021, there have been over 12,000 trademark applications with the name "Meta Universe" in China. The related trademark applicants include Tencent, Netease, Baidu and other famous enterprises in SAIC, Mixue Ice City, Shuanghui, Hisense and Foxconn.

Why are they all laying out the metauniverse? Essence Securities pointed out in its research report that the Metauniverse is still in the early stage of development, and every move of technology companies will not only contribute to maintaining their existing industry position, but also jointly shape the final form of the Metauniverse through their own efforts.

However, the People’s Daily once pointed out that it takes time to promote the new concept and its industry to mature gradually, and it needs to be down-to-earth and lay a solid foundation for development to lead to the fascinating technological future. Just like virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR) or mixed reality (MR), the head word is "reality", which also indicates that without the support of reality, it will be a mirage.

What is the progress of domestic internet giants in the meta-universe? How is it laid out?

Tencent: Invest or acquire industrial chain companies.

Compared with other internet companies in China, Tencent seems to have entered the meta-universe earlier.

Judging from the investment situation, in February 2020, Tencent participated in Roblox’s $150 million G round of financing. In March 2021, Roblox successfully landed on the New York Stock Exchange, and its market value on the first day of listing broke 40 billion US dollars, which was called "the first share in the meta-universe". In addition, Tencent also invested in Epic Games, the game developer of Fortress Night, holding 40% of its shares. In April, 2021, Epic Games raised $1 billion for the development of business related to Meta-Universe, setting a record for the highest financing of Meta-Universe circuit at that time.

On January 10th, 2022, The Paper reporter learned from people familiar with the matter that Tencent planned to acquire Black Shark Technology ("Xiaomi Company"), a domestic game mobile phone company. According to media reports, the acquisition has been recognized by Xiaomi’s top management. In terms of the purchase price, Black Shark Technology and Tencent conducted relevant negotiations: Black Shark was valued at 3 billion yuan, and Tencent cut it to about 2.6 to 2.7 billion yuan.

Roblox, invested by Tencent, has successfully landed on NYSE.

The Paper reporter found that since September, 2021, Tencent Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. has 99 pieces of trademark information about Meta Universe, such as "QQ Meta Universe", "Magic Nuclear Meta Universe" and "Peaceful Elite Meta Universe", and all the trademark applications are in the stage of "waiting for substantive examination".

Talking about technologies related to the Meta-Universe, Li Congbing, deputy general manager of the R&D Efficiency Department of Tencent Mutual Entertainment, said in an interview with The Paper that Tencent is paying attention to technologies related to building a larger digital scene. "Including PCG (Procedural Content Generation Technology), AI-based NPC interaction, and real-time rendering capabilities, we are all paying attention."　

Li Congbing said that everyone has different perceptions of the meta-universe, and not only one user platform can be called the "meta-universe". "In our view, games are more about building virtual spaces and scenes that are more realistic and closer to the ideal state, and our technology is also around this direction. But to say what the meta-universe is like, whether it is to copy the reality in the virtual world or simply refer to a virtual world, I don’t think there is a clear form that can be made clear. "　

He told the The Paper that the technical problem that the Metauniverse needs to break through most at present is whether it can provide immersive interaction and experience. "Immersive equipment, technology and experience are the threshold for the real industrialization of the meta-universe."　

Deng Dafu, deputy general manager of Tencent Mutual Entertainment R&D Efficiency Department, believes that the Metauniverse has two opportunities in the industry: first, the Metauniverse will produce a lot of three-dimensional content, but the three-dimensional world needs high-yield 3D production capabilities, which is still a very big challenge for the current technical capabilities.　

Secondly, the development of artificial intelligence industry. He mentioned that although everyone is talking about the meta-universe at present, it is impossible for digital people to realize intelligent dialogue, drive behavior and explore the world like westworld, and a partial breakthrough has been made in technology. "But how to truly integrate them is a topic that we have been thinking about."　

Another industry closely related to the metauniverse is VR and AR. In this regard, Zou Haochuan, director of business strategy of Tencent’s new experience and technology department, believes that VR and AR industries will develop rapidly in the future. "In the past, we used game consoles, computers and mobile phones, and the society experienced the stage of dual internet. Starting from VR, we will enter the stage of 3D Internet, which is an inevitable trend of technological development. "　

Tencent is also exploring the technology of "digital man". In the process of "digital and real integration" (the integration of digital economy and real economy), digital man is an important basic technology module. In 2018, NExT Studios, a studio owned by Tencent, developed Siren Sai Ren, a high-fidelity real-time digital person, which greatly restored the image of the real person and could use emotions to drive facial expressions and body movements.　

"In the future, with the continuous development of new technologies, the technical threshold and cost of digital virtual people will be greatly reduced, and virtual people will be applied to a wider range of spaces and fields and truly become a part of daily life." Andy, vice president of Tencent Interactive Entertainment, said.　

Zou Haochuan revealed that Tencent has formed a set of standard digital life production processes, combined with computer graphics and deep learning technology, hoping to break through the boundaries of the game industry in the future and apply simulated digital people to all walks of life. He said that at present, Tencent has cooperated with Epic Games, a well-known game manufacturer, to precipitate the technology of digital people into Unreal Engine, so as to develop the application of digital people in industries other than games. "Only the trinity of hardware, technology and software content technology can really promote the industry."

Generally speaking, Tencent is considered to be a relatively comprehensive company in the layout of the meta-universe because of its relatively complete territory in the fields of social interaction, games and film live broadcast.

Essence Securities also mentioned in the research report that the foreign media Not Boring has produced a complete industrial map of Tencent Metauniverse, which is supported by the game channel+engine Epic, including game development platforms such as Roblox, League of Legends, Night of Fortress, My World, and live broadcast communities such as twitch, Discord, and Betta Tiger’s Teeth; Pinduoduo, Shopee and other e-commerce channels; Zoom, Tencent conference and other remote office software.

Baidu: to be the infrastructure platform of the meta-universe

The related products of the Meta-Universe are gradually coming to the ground, even if they are just embryonic forms.

Among B (Baidu) A (Ali) T (Tencent), Baidu was the first to launch the meta-cosmic product, and the first domestic meta-cosmic product "Xirang" App officially launched on December 27, 2021 earned enough attention. Li Yanhong, founder, chairman and CEO of Baidu, commented: "Our way of gathering is both dreamy and realistic."

Although "Xirang" has evolved three times since March, 2021, users still have many regrets.

Screenshot of Xirang App, there are still many shortcomings in the user experience.

According to the World Wide Web report, Zhou Hongyi, the founder of 360, recently laughed when talking about Baidu’s meta-cosmic product "Xirang", saying that pepper had already been done, but it was not particularly successful. It is not difficult to build a virtual scene, and it is not difficult for virtual characters to broadcast live, but it is difficult to last.

The Paper reporter understands that the "Xirang" project was launched as early as December 2020, and Baidu hopes to build a prototype of the metauniverse that can be touched, experienced and promoted. According to Ma Jie, vice president of Baidu and head of Hirang, "Hirang" is a metacosmic product with negative version 6.0. It will not be perfect until six years later, and then it will be officially launched.

Regarding what "Xirang" will eventually look like, Ma Jie said: "None of us know what it will look like. This is precisely its greatest charm, but we know it should be beautiful."

At this stage, why is the metauniverse difficult to realize? At the media communication meeting before the release of "Xirang", Ma Jie said that under the current network technology conditions, vision, hearing and interaction are the three mountains that hinder the development of the metauniverse, and the technical difficulty brings great challenges. The path to solve the metauniverse problem needs to break through a series of technical bottlenecks and need the support of strong basic technical capabilities. These key technologies include: secure, autonomous and intelligent cloud computing technology; Continuous innovation in the fields of artificial intelligence, ARM cloud, edge computing, intelligent video, VR and AR; Construction of content ecology and huge market base.

Hou Zhenyu, senior vice president of Baidu, said that computing is the underlying foundation of the metauniverse, and the demand for computing power in the metauniverse is almost endless.

According to Baidu’s development logic in the meta-universe, it hopes to become the infrastructure platform of the meta-universe, and provide AI, cloud computing and other technical engines for "Xirang" and other meta-universe products. For example, according to Baidu, the distributed cloud in Baidu AI Cloud can support users of the metauniverse to access it anytime and anywhere, and the "Xirang World" uses a lot of edge computing node resources distributed everywhere.

"Combining the most advanced AI, cloud computing and VR technologies in the industry, the ultimate goal of Xirang is to create a platform for our partners and developers, a platform that allows imagination to take root. In this second human space, which is about to be parallel to the real world, we also look forward to its infinite possibilities and ultimately carry the bright future of High Tech-Better Life. " Ma Jie said.

The hope of Baidu’s propaganda

Tianyancha App shows that since October 2021, Baidu Online Network Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd. has applied for a number of trademarks related to the meta-universe, involving the fields of APP and maps. Among them, 3 trademarks of META MAPS are invalid, 1 trademark of METAAPP is invalid, 2 trademarks of METAAPP are awaiting substantive examination, and 6 trademarks of META MAP are awaiting substantive examination.

Ali: Set up a laboratory for AR, VR and Metauniverse.

Ali is also laying out the metauniverse in a low-key way.

On December 28th, 2021, Alibaba Dharma Institute released the top ten scientific and technological trends in 2022. This is the top ten scientific and technological trends that Dharma Institute analyzed 7.7 million public papers and 85,000 patents in the past three years, interviewed nearly 100 scientists in depth, and put forward that 2022 may shine into reality, covering artificial intelligence, chips, computing and communication.

The "meta-universe" of the fire did not appear in the top ten scientific and technological trends in 2022, but Alibaba Dharma Institute put forward the trend of "XR Internet". It is predicted that in the next three years, a new generation of XR glasses with a shape and weight close to ordinary glasses will be produced and become the key entrance to the next generation of Internet.

At the Alibaba Cloud Habitat Congress in 2021, Alibaba Dharma Institute announced the addition of two laboratories, of which XR Laboratory is a new laboratory facing the direction of AR, VR and Metauniverse.

Tan Ping, head of XR Laboratory of Alibaba Dharma Institute, said at Yunqi Conference: "AR and VR glasses are the next generation mobile computing platforms that will be popularized soon, and new display and interaction based on new computing platforms are the essence of the meta-universe. The scope of the metauniverse is very broad, including social, e-commerce, education, games, payment and other fields. Various applications in the mobile Internet era will all produce new presentation methods in the metauniverse. "

Tan Ping believes that the technology of the future "virtual world" can be divided into four levels. The first layer is holographic construction, which uses triangular mesh to build the appearance of the whole world and display it on the terminal to create an immersive experience. The second layer is holographic simulation, which makes the virtual world infinitely close to the real world. The combination of these two layers of technology can realize the virtual world in VR glasses. The third layer is the fusion of reality and reality, which makes the virtual world and the real world merge. The fourth layer is the linkage between reality and reality, and the change of virtual world can correspond to the real world.

According to the reporter from The Paper, the research direction of XR Lab is three-dimensional modeling of objects and people, highly realistic rendering, natural human-computer interaction, large-scale scene mapping and positioning, and robot grasping and manipulation. Products and applications include holographic shops, AR parallel worlds and IDC intelligent operation and maintenance robots.

In addition, the main body of Alibaba’s cloud game business unit "Yuan Jing Sheng Sheng" has also landed, or it is Ali’s further layout in the field of meta-cosmic games.

Tianyancha App shows that on December 6, 2021, Yuanjing Shengsheng (Beijing) Technology Co., Ltd. was established, with 100% shareholding by Hangzhou Ali Venture Capital Co., Ltd. with a registered capital of 10 million RMB. Some insiders of Ali revealed to the media that the company’s future business is related to the meta-universe.

In terms of trademark application, in September 2021, Alibaba Singapore Holdings Co., Ltd. applied for the registration of trademarks such as "Ali Yuan Universe" and "Taobao Yuan Universe". At present, the trademark status is pending substantive examination.

Regarding the Metauniverse, Essence Securities pointed out in its research report in December 2021 that Alibaba has a first-Mover advantage in the layout of the underlying infrastructure cloud computing in the Metauniverse. In addition, relying on rich e-commerce scenarios, Ali can pay attention to its progress in reappearing e-commerce and marketing scenarios in the meta-universe in the future.

Netease: To Promote the Full Link Exploration of Metauniverse

Netease said that the concept product of the meta-universe has landed.

In November, 2021, Ding Lei, founder and CEO of Netease, said at the company’s third quarter financial report meeting that the metauniverse is a very hot concept, but no one has touched the metauniverse at present. Netease is ready for the technologies and rules related to the meta-universe. "We believe that on the day when the meta-universe really comes, Netease has the ability to run quickly."

Ding Lei said that Netease has always attached great importance to R&D investment based on diversified products and users’ needs. After long-term technical accumulation, it has a world-leading technical reserve in the fields related to metauniverse such as VR, AR, artificial intelligence, engine, cloud games and blockchain, and is fully equipped with the technology and ability to explore and develop metauniverse.

He mentioned that Netease has already launched products such as Yaotai immersive activity system, virtual human, planet blockchain and other meta-universe concepts, and invested in a number of innovative companies in the field of virtual human to promote the full link exploration of the meta-universe from front-end research and development to terminal business scenarios. In the future, Netease will also deeply integrate its exploration experience, technological advantages and innovation models with real user needs and industrial needs, and continue to pay attention to and increase investment in research and development, so that the Metauniverse can truly move from concept to application and effectively create value for society.

On December 2nd, Netease Cloud Music landed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. In Netease Fuxi’s immersive activity system "Yaotai", Ding Lei’s "avatar" three people completed the "meta-universe" gong. Netease said that this is the world’s first "meta-universe" listing ceremony. The so-called three "Ding Lei", one is Ding Lei himself, who knocks gongs in an offline ceremony, and the other two are AI virtual people "Ding Lei", who are respectively portrayed as Ding Lei, aged 29 in 2000, and Ding Lei, aged 50 in 2021.

Netease’s layout in the meta-universe does not stop there.

On December 25, 2021, Netease signed a strategic cooperation agreement with the Sanya municipal government, and Netease will set up its Hainan headquarters in Sanya to build the Netease Meta-Universe Industrial Base project. In addition, the two sides will deepen cooperation in the fields of interactive entertainment, e-sports, music culture, e-commerce live broadcast and online education.

Tianyancha App shows that in October 2021, many Netease affiliated companies such as Hangzhou Netease Leihuo Technology Co., Ltd., Netease (Hangzhou) Network Co., Ltd. and Guangzhou Netease Computer System Co., Ltd. applied for registration of trademarks such as Netease Meta Universe, Leihuo Meta Universe and Fuxi Meta Universe, and the trademark status was awaiting substantive examination.

ByteDance: Acquisition+Self-research Layout Metauniverse

In August, 2021, Pico, a VR startup, issued an internal letter confirming that the company was acquired by ByteDance.

Open source securities believes that with the rise of the concept of "meta-universe", Internet industry giants and head game companies began to compete for opportunities. As an important part of ByteDance’s territory expansion, Pico will be merged into VR business line, integrating byte content resources and technical capabilities. ByteDance’s acquisition of Pico will have a great impact on the dormant domestic VR field.

Pico products acquired by ByteDance.

Essence Securities pointed out that Tencent and ByteDance are the two companies with the smoothest meta-cosmic logic in China. Under the guidance of "capital+flow" strategy, Tencent focuses on acquisition rather than natural innovation, so as to comprehensively lay out the meta-universe. ByteDance is more radical. In order to complement the "social" gene, he adopts the All In method of acquisition and self-research.

According to the research report, at present, in terms of hardware and operating system, ByteDance has acquired Pico to make up for the hardware shortcomings. In terms of the underlying architecture, Gankun, a developer of physical engine, is invested, and its youth UGC platform "Restart the World" is highly similar to "Roblox". Acquisition of end-to-end live broadcast solution provider Weijing Video, providing VR end-to-end live broadcast/on-demand solutions based on core technologies. In terms of content and scenes, today’s headlines, Tik Tok, Watermelon Video, Tik Tok, Faceu Sprout, Flying Book, Picture Worm and other product matrices cover more than 150 countries and regions around the world, and the traffic is global.

　　Cctv newsTen days ago, the site of Liangzhu Ancient City, located in Yuhang District, Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, was listed on the World Heritage List by UNESCO and became the 55th World Heritage Site in China. Ten days later, in this ancient and modern land, a grand seminar on smart cities was held here.

　　Chinese and foreign experts and scholars from afar, around the "smart city technology application — Challenges and Solutions ",and conducted in-depth discussions on five aspects of smart city development technology application, standard function and implementation mode, sustainable development, capacity building, smart city and future community. Five academicians from China Academy of Engineering, including Pan Yunhe, Zhongshan, Zhou Liwei, Wu Zhiqiang and Chen Jing, as well as more than 30 Chinese and foreign technical experts, gathered together to make suggestions for the future construction of smart cities.

　　Academician Pan Yunhe pointed out in his keynote speech that with the development of informatization, the spatial model of human beings has gradually changed from binary space (human society and physical space) to ternary space (human society, physical space and information space), and the new change model of information flow formed by spatial change has led to new changes in cognition. Nowadays, many regions are exploring new modes of regional economic development. The common development of China’s urban economy and urban construction is bound to promote the co-evolution of cities and economies. In the future, China’s urban development not only shoulders the heavy responsibility of management, but also shoulders the comprehensive goals of industrialization, urbanization, informationization, greening and agricultural modernization.

　　Academician Wu Zhiqiang said that artificial intelligence city technology has been applied in many fields. The new generation of artificial intelligence city developed by their team is supported by the latest database tool "City Tree", which trains the city simulation system "City Go" with machine learning technology, and develops a series of deduction tools for artificial intelligence city planning. At present, it has played an important role in the planning and operation of the first artificial intelligence town.

　　As one of the organizers of this seminar, Quan Chunlai, former vice president of the Second Research Institute of China Aerospace Science and Industry Group, and Zhou Xiang, chairman of Aerospace Science and Industry Smart Industry Development Co., Ltd. made speeches as special guests.

Baby, fragile human cub.

A long time ago, it was a great luck for a baby to spend a hundred days smoothly. Every moment after leaving the mother, pathogens have been eyeing around the baby-they may get tetanus from scissors that cut the umbilical cord, smallpox from the cough of a fever, or polio from drinking unclean water.

These deadly diseases have prevented mankind for thousands of years. It was not until the emergence of modern medicine in the 19th century that human beings found out the true features of pathogens and developed vaccines to build the first line of defense for babies.

Please give the baby’s immune defense line "foreign aid"

People who have been vaccinated know something about the mechanism of vaccines-vaccines train the immune system to recognize and respond by introducing harmless forms of pathogens. When real viruses and germs invade the body, the immune system has already made preparations to kill pathogens accurately and protect human health.

In order to protect children to the greatest extent, countries all over the world have started immunization programs since the beginning of the 20th century, trying to deal with various major infectious diseases by systematically immunizing children.

China’s national immunization program began in 1978. After decades of efforts, the vaccination rate of children has reached and remained at a high level, and many infectious diseases that threaten children’s health and survival, such as polio and diphtheria, have been effectively controlled.

After nearly 50 years of development, the types of immunization programs in China are increasing and becoming more and more complete. According to the 2021 edition of the National Immunization Program Vaccine Immunization Procedures and Instructions for Children, children need to be vaccinated for about 20 times before the age of 2, and newborns are vaccinated during the "intensive period" from birth to 18 months, with an average vaccination every other month.

Immunization planning, "the road to evolution" and "unfinished needs"

While the immune defense line is constantly being built, it also brings new unfinished needs.

On the one hand, it is the challenge of vaccination itself. Some parents feel slightly exaggerated that every vaccination is a "journey" for babies and parents.

For parents, the most distressing thing is to watch chubby little hands and feet get stuck in a needle, and then hear the child burst into a terrible cry, not to mention the trouble of taking a baby out of the house, the bad heart of waiting in line and worrying about possible adverse reactions.

On the other hand, the protection of vaccines also indirectly reduces the public’s awareness of those "ancient" diseases-this needs to be vigilant, because some diseases have not disappeared from us. For example, in recent years, many countries have reported that the incidence of whooping cough, which once fell to a low level, has been rising all the way, and whooping cough infection has come back.

Many people may think that the DTP vaccine containing pertussis antigen can be "once and for all"-in fact, because people are generally susceptible to pertussis, the human body can gain immunity to pertussis through natural infection or vaccination. However, more and more studies show that immunity acquired through natural infection or vaccination cannot last for life. With the attenuation of vaccine immunity and natural infection immunity, a large number of people susceptible to pertussis are gradually accumulated.

For babies, especially those who have not established protective barriers, when parents and other family members are infected with whooping cough, the baby’s situation is particularly dangerous. The data show that infants under 1 year old account for more than half of the reported cases of pertussis, and among the severely ill children, 64% infants are younger than 3 months old.

Vaccinate in time to help protect the seedlings.

Timely and efficient "protection" is the key word for vaccine development. This is because the number of vaccines that can be vaccinated at the same time is limited, and the more vaccines vaccinated as soon as possible, the more meaningful it is to build the baby’s immune barrier in an all-round way. Under this background, the combined vaccine came into being, making it possible to prevent many diseases with one vaccine. By reducing the number of injections and improving the vaccination efficiency, the baby can get fewer needles while maintaining or improving the protective effect of the vaccine.

The well-known "DTP" is a classic triple vaccine. In recent years, through technological innovation, it has been continuously combined with higher prices, and four vaccines, five vaccines and six vaccines have come out one after another. The diseases that can be prevented at the same time have also expanded from whooping cough, diphtheria and tetanus to the invasive infection caused by polio and Haemophilus influenzae B, which has significantly improved the timeliness and protection efficiency of vaccination.

It is worth noting that the combined vaccine is not simply mixed, and it is necessary to ensure the compatibility, safety, effectiveness and stability of each antigen component in the vaccine. For example, whether the protective efficacy of each antigen can be ensured after mixing is equivalent to that of the original corresponding vaccine; At the same time, it is necessary to effectively solve some potential problems, such as competition between antigens, expression inhibition, and the influence of inactive components on vaccines. In a sense, the higher the degree of combination, the more efficient the vaccine will be in building the baby’s immune barrier. The "14th Five-Year Plan for Bio-economic Development" issued by the National Development and Reform Commission also puts forward that "we should accelerate the iterative upgrading of vaccine R&D and production technology, develop multi-linked multivalent vaccines, develop new genetic engineering vaccines and therapeutic vaccines, and improve the ability to cope with major infectious diseases."

Not only that, the vaccine for the baby is also particular about the dose. The higher the injection dose of vaccine, the more intense the pain will be. According to international best practice, 0.5ml vaccination dose for infants can avoid the pain caused by high-dose injection and reduce the risk of aseptic abscess formation, muscle contracture and vascular contraction injury.

Recently, the reported incidence of "ancient" whooping cough has increased significantly. In addition to the protection efficiency and vaccination experience, it is more important to vaccinate the "Miao" as soon as possible and complete the whole vaccination according to the procedure. Only in this way can the baby be protected from the threat of whooping cough.

Looking back at the development of children’s vaccines, we can see the corner of the war between human science and technology and disease. Just like the "sugar pill" in many people’s memory has a new alternative, the weapon to protect children is still evolving and developing in a more effective and efficient direction, just as people are working hard now.

Nancai Finance All-Media Reporter Feng Yuyi reports from Zhuhai.

On the evening of January 28th, Dong Mingzhu, wearing a pink embroidered silver-gray dress, appeared at the 10,000-person conference of "Gree 2024 Global Dream Festival", nearly six years after the Gree 2018 Dream Festival.

Dong Mingzhu, Chairman and President of Gree Electric, said at the meeting that night that 2023 was the best year for Gree since its establishment 33 years ago. It is estimated that the operating income will be 205 billion-210 billion yuan, the net profit will be 27 billion-29.3 billion yuan, the company’s tax contribution will be about 17.6 billion yuan, and the annual dividend in the past five years will average over 14.073 billion yuan. She mentioned that she hoped that Gree Electric’s tax revenue to the country would exceed 20 billion yuan in 2024 and strive to double its performance in the next five years. This is also the mark that Gree Electric’s revenue has returned to 200 billion yuan since 2019.

Behind the great increase in Gree’s performance

Looking back on 2023, the global air-conditioning sales market is quite positive. According to the PSI monitoring data of AVC, in 2023, the production of household air conditioners was 163.282 million units, up 12.3% year-on-year; Sales reached 156.946 million units, a year-on-year increase of 10.4%. Among them, 90.541 million units were shipped domestically, up 12.9% year-on-year; Exports reached 66.405 million units, a year-on-year increase of 7.3%.

The relevant person in charge of Gree Electric Marketing Department said in an interview with Southern Finance and Economics all-media reporter that with the recovery of the domestic consumer market in 2023, consumers’ demand for durable consumer goods such as air conditioners was released, and the air-conditioning production capacity was greatly expanded, superimposed with the ever-high temperature weather, and the global temperature rise made many European countries and regions that did not use air conditioners start to increase their demand, thus achieving the unexpected growth of the air-conditioning market.

According to industry online data, the cumulative shipments of Gree Electric in the first 11 months of 2023 increased by 1.5% year-on-year, of which domestic sales increased by 4% year-on-year, while exports decreased by 4.8% year-on-year. The growth rate was slightly weaker than that of the industry, and the market share of domestic and foreign exports declined slightly by 2.2pct and 1.8pct.

Compared with the full expansion of the domestic market, the above-mentioned person in charge said that for overseas markets, Gree has started to implement different overseas market development models, including self-owned brand model and OEM model, in addition to constantly seeking cooperation with world-renowned enterprises and establishing cooperative partnerships to realize resource sharing and complementarity, and at the same time, it has found distributors and partners in various places to form a differentiated development strategy.

According to the annual reports of Gree in 2020, 2021 and 2022, the total operating income in the three years was 170.497 billion yuan, 189.654 billion yuan and 190.151 billion yuan respectively. The outside world has been discussing that the revenue of 200 billion yuan is the "entry ticket" of the world’s top 500 companies in the past two years. It is worth looking forward to whether Gree can break through the top 500 companies with its performance in 2023.

Dong Mingzhu had previously responded by saying that she didn’t care about falling out of the world’s top 500. She said at the party on the 28th, "I still reiterate that Gree Electric doesn’t care about the stock price because we don’t live on it."

Industry insiders predict that in 2023, with the blessing of many favorable factors such as the right time, the right place and the right people, the domestic and foreign markets of China air conditioners will perform remarkably. However, in the current situation that the domestic air-conditioning demand is narrowing, and the overseas export market is always faced with uncertainties such as geopolitics and exchange rate fluctuations, it will be difficult to replicate the higher shipment scale in 2024.

The road to transformation is full of thorns

With air conditioning as the core category, air conditioning business in Gree Electric accounts for about 70% of the total revenue in the first three quarters of 2023. In order to reverse the single development model that relies heavily on air-conditioning business, Gree has been emphasizing diversified development in recent years, trying to show the world a multi-faceted and three-dimensional enterprise structure and competitive strength.

All-media reporters of Southern Finance and Economics combed Gree Electric’s financial reports in recent years and found that the diversified layout of Gree is not comprehensive. The logic is basically to extend the industrial chain through the upstream and downstream layout of household appliances, from smart equipment and precision molds in the vertical direction of the industrial chain to refrigerators, washing machines, water heaters and drinking fountains in the horizontal direction of products, and then to new energy vehicles, mobile phones and prefabricated vegetables, and so on, stepping on the tuyere of almost every industry.

Taking intelligent equipment as an example, intelligent equipment has always been a main line of Gree’s diversified business development. Tracing back to this main line so far, Gree has made great strides.

In 2013, Dong Mingzhu personally established the Automation Office, Automation Equipment Manufacturing Department, Automation Technology Research Institute and Intelligent Equipment Technology Research Institute, which defined the development direction of "independent innovation and independent creation" and opened Gree’s entry into the field of intelligent equipment.

In 2015, Gree Intelligent Equipment Manufacturing Division independently established Gree Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd., and proposed industrial robots and high-end CNC machine tools as the company’s two major research fields in the future. The industrial robots independently developed by Gree also made their debut. At the same time, Midea and Yaskawa Electric set up a joint venture robot company, took a stake in KUKA for the first time, and officially announced their entry into the robot industry.

At the end of 2022, Gree established Zhuhai Gree Prefabricated Vegetable Equipment Technology Development Co., Ltd., and the Guangdong Prefabricated Vegetable Equipment Industry Development Federation, which was led by Gree in the following year, was officially unveiled, and a prefabricated vegetable smart factory was built to March into prefabricated vegetable equipment in an all-round way.

Yang Ce of china galaxy Securities Co., Ltd. believes that Gree Electric is better than sales in revenue growth, which is expected to benefit from the improvement of income diversification level after the company’s product structure optimization and business transformation.

However, judging from the revenue structure in the first half of 2023, Gree’s industrial products, smart equipment and green energy projects accounted for 5.53%, 0.25% and 2.94% of the revenue respectively. The "second growth curve" created by Gree still has a long way to go and faces many challenges.

Now, it has been four years since Gree put forward the reform of "new retail" mode, and Gree has continuously laid out new retail channels to reduce operating costs. According to the latest public information, starting this year, Gree will fully implement a new retail model in Shandong, Guangdong and other provinces, in which dealers directly sign contracts with the company’s Zhuhai headquarters and place orders from the cloud platform, so as to shorten the sales chain.

Regarding the marketing reform, Dong Mingzhu had previously responded to the media, saying, "The first thing to reform is to change your own life. Gree’s past marketing model was created by me, and it hasn’t changed much for more than 20 years. But the background of today’s era is completely different from that of that year. The arrival of the Internet era is indeed a huge challenge for Gree. "

"The contribution rate of scientific and technological progress has increased to more than 60%, and the ability of innovation to support development has been continuously enhanced." "Innovative achievements in the fields of large aircraft manufacturing and artificial intelligence are constantly emerging" … In the 2023 government work report, scientific and technological innovations are inspiring.

Scientific and technological innovation and technological progress are the core competitiveness of a country. In recent years, China’s scientific and technological undertakings have developed by leaps and bounds, the ability of scientific and technological innovation has been accelerated, and the role of science and technology as the primary productive force has been further exerted. The data shows that China’s global innovation index ranking rose from the 34th in 2012 to the 11th in 2022, and it successfully entered the ranks of innovative countries, opening a new stage of realizing high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and building a powerful country in science and technology.

This year’s government work report pointed out that science and technology policy should focus on self-reliance and self-improvement. Improve the new national system, give full play to the organizational role of the government in tackling key core technologies, and highlight the main position of scientific and technological innovation of enterprises. In the field of information and communication, from 6G and artificial intelligence to the Internet of Things and quantum information, innovation has never stopped. To further promote high-level scientific and technological self-reliance, build a strong country in science and technology, and run the concept of innovation and development through the whole process of modernization, we need to strive to create a good ecological environment for scientific and technological innovation, and we need to unite all forces to form a joint force.

At present, the clarion call of scientific and technological innovation is sounded again, and the national strategic orientation and the needs of various subjects strongly resonate. In the fertile soil where all things germinate and flourish, science and technology will inject more wisdom into high-quality development.

6G

After several generations’ efforts, China’s mobile communication has achieved the leap-forward development of 2G following, 3G breakthrough, 4G synchronization and 5G leading, and its strategic, basic and leading role in China’s economic and social development has become increasingly prominent, becoming the core engine of social development. As the next generation mobile communication technology, the 6th generation mobile communication (6G) is another opportunity for China to climb the peak of mobile communication after 5G.

With the large-scale commercialization of 5G network, 6G, as the cornerstone of future communication, has quickly entered the global mobile communication industry. At present, major economies in the world have started the research and development of 6G networks, and the research and development of 6G in China has also been significantly accelerated since 2022. 6G will integrate the development trend of core technical elements in the field of pan-information communication, making its technical connotation, industrial category and strategic value far exceed that of traditional mobile communication, and it is the commanding height of global scientific and technological innovation and competition.

At the first "Ministerial Channel" of the First Session of the 14th National People’s Congress held recently, Jin Zhuanglong, Minister of Industry and Information Technology, introduced that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is currently summing up the experience of promoting 5G, supporting the industry to set up a 6G promotion group, code-named "IMT-2030(6G) promotion group", which is already working.

In the next step, Jin Zhuanglong said, the key point is to maintain the good development momentum of 5G, and the specific measures can be summarized as "building", "using" and "researching". At present, China has built the largest and most advanced 5G network, and China’s 5G development has been at the forefront of the world. The data shows that China has built more than 2.34 million 5G base stations, and the number of 5G mobile phone users has exceeded 575 million. More than half of the 97 categories in the national economy use 5G, such as mining, ports, electricity, and large aircraft manufacturing.

Especially for "research", Jin Zhuanglong said: "From the perspective of the development process of 5G, giving full play to the role of government, enterprises and research institutions, it seems that the effect is very good now. We must give full play to the advantages of ultra-large-scale market and complete industrial system. Industry-University-Research will use concentrated efforts to strengthen international cooperation and accelerate 6G research and development. "

artificial intelligence

Emerging industries are new pillars and new tracks leading the future development. Among them, artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly integrated into the whole process of various fields of economic and social development, and has become an important driving force to promote the leap-forward development of science and technology, industrial optimization and upgrading, and the overall leap of productivity. In recent years, China’s artificial intelligence has accelerated its development, and a complete industrial system has been formed, and a number of "specialized and innovative" enterprises have thrived. This year’s government work report mentioned that it is necessary to accelerate the development of digital industries such as artificial intelligence.

At present, generative AI has a strong development momentum, which refers to the technology of creating new content by using existing text, audio files or images. The key technology of generative AI is generative countermeasure network, which is a deep learning model in essence. The hot performance of ChatGPT in the past year is the best example of the rapid development of AI technology.

Wang Zhigang, Minister of Science and Technology, said that ChatGPT attracted attention because it, as a big model, effectively combined big data, big computing power and strong algorithms. Its calculation method has improved. The same principle lies in whether it is done well. For example, engines, everyone can make engines, but the quality is different. Playing football is dribbling and shooting, but it is not easy to be as good as Messi. From this point of view, it is very difficult for ChatGPT to make technological progress, especially to ensure the real-time performance and the effectiveness of the algorithm quality. We can understand and talk with people’s natural language through calculation, but it is not easy to achieve real-time effect. OpenAI has its advantages in this respect.

Statista, a third-party statistical platform, predicts that the AI market will maintain an average annual growth rate of 50.7%. By 2025, the global artificial intelligence market will reach 36.9 billion US dollars, and the capabilities of artificial intelligence in image (including face) recognition, speech recognition, industrial/manufacturing brain, predictive analysis and automation (including autonomous driving) will continue to improve.

Internet of things

At the World Summit on the Information Society in 2005, the International Telecommunication Union formally put forward the concept of "Internet of Things", suggesting that the ubiquitous communication era of "Internet of Things" is coming, and all objects in the world, from tires to toothbrushes, from houses to paper towels, can actively exchange information through the Internet.

The technical idea of the Internet of Things is "connecting everything on demand". Specifically, all objects (including all entities and virtual physical objects and terminal equipment) that can be independently identified, including people, machines and objects, are connected everywhere according to requirements through various network technologies and information sensing equipment such as radio frequency identification (data exchange through radio to achieve information identification), infrared sensors, global positioning systems and laser scanners, and information transmission and collaborative interaction are carried out. In order to realize the intelligent information perception, identification, location, tracking, monitoring and management of objects, and build an intelligent service environment with the ability of anthropomorphic knowledge learning, analysis and processing, automatic decision-making and behavior control among all objects.

With the popularization of Internet of Things applications, trillions of new devices with different application requirements, such as smart wearable devices, smart home appliances, intelligent networked cars, intelligent robots, smart medical care, farmland water conservancy and municipal buildings, will be connected to the network. These applications are exploding and forming massive data, which promotes the further digitalization, networking and intelligence of production, life and social management, and promotes more intelligent and efficient economic and social development.

At present, China has built the largest mobile Internet of Things in the world, with the number of connections reaching 1.845 billion, accounting for more than 70% of the total number of connections in the world, becoming the first country in the world to realize "superman". Mobile Internet of Things has been widely used in digital city construction, intelligent manufacturing, intelligent transportation, mobile payment and other fields, which has profoundly changed people’s lifestyle. With the continuous development of Internet of Things technology, the Internet of Things industry in China will achieve greater development in the future.

Quantum information

The development of quantum information is of great scientific significance and strategic value. It is a major subversive technological innovation that impacts and reconstructs the traditional technological system and will lead a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation. Quantum information mainly includes quantum communication, quantum calculation, quantum precision measurement and so on. In recent years, China has increased its research investment in quantum science and technology, and its technological innovation is active. Through relay propulsion, we have followed and ran to lead in the field of quantum information, and innovative achievements have emerged continuously.

The development of quantum communication is closely related to national information security and strategy, and countries attach great importance to it. In recent years, China has accelerated the construction of quantum communication network and has successfully advanced into the first echelon in the world. At present, quantum communication has the preliminary commercial conditions, and China is actively building a quantum secure communication network. China actively promotes the construction of ground quantum communication networks such as Beijing-Shanghai trunk line/Wuhe trunk line/Beijing MAN/Hefei MAN, and China University of Science and Technology takes the lead in developing Mozi quantum communication satellite and realizing the distribution of quantum keys from satellite to ground spanning 4,600 kilometers.

In the recently hit sci-fi movie Wandering Earth 2, the scene that MOSS, a quantum computer in China, works with thousands of "planetary engines" around the world with powerful computing power is shocking. In 2020, China University of Science and Technology built a 76-photon quantum computing prototype "Nine Chapters"; In October 2021, the upgraded version of "Nine Chapters No.2" of "Nine Chapters" was successfully built, which once again set a new record for the technical level of international optical quantum manipulation. Its handling of specific problems is billions of times faster than the fastest supercomputer in the world. Coupled with the superconducting quantum computer "Zu Chongzhi II" released by China University of Science and Technology in October 2021, this series of remarkable achievements indicates that China has become the only country in the world that has reached the milestone of "quantum superiority" on the two "tracks" of superconductivity and optical quantum.

It can be seen that China has made great efforts to play a "first move" and mastered more key technologies with independent intellectual property rights on the new world science and technology frontier tracks such as quantum computing, laying a solid foundation for participating in international science and technology competition and seizing the track of quantum science and technology development.

big data

Big data industry is a strategic emerging industry focusing on data generation, collection, storage, processing, analysis and service. It is the key support to activate the potential of data elements and an important engine to accelerate the quality change, efficiency change and power change of economic and social development. The latest data shows that the scale of China’s big data industry reached 1.57 trillion yuan in 2022, an increase of 18% year-on-year, and it has become an important force to promote the development of the digital economy.

Digital infrastructure has achieved leap-forward development. By the end of 2022, China has built the world’s largest optical fiber network, with a total optical fiber mileage of nearly 60 million kilometers, a total data center rack of nearly 6 million standard racks, and more than 2.3 million 5G base stations nationwide, all of which rank among the top in the world. The innovation and development of the digital industry has accelerated. The number of invention patents granted in artificial intelligence, Internet of Things and other fields ranks among the top in the world, and the scale of core industries in the digital economy has accelerated. The national software business revenue has increased from 2.5 trillion yuan in 2012 to 10.8 trillion yuan in 2022. Digital empowerment of the real economy has achieved remarkable results. In 2022, the digital transformation of China’s manufacturing industry was further promoted, and the development of intelligent agriculture was accelerated. The comprehensive mechanization rate of crop cultivation and harvest has exceeded 72%, effectively improving agricultural production efficiency. The digitalization level of the service industry has improved significantly, and the scale of e-commerce and mobile payment is leading in the world.

At this year’s National People’s Congress, the State Council’s institutional reform plan mentioned the establishment of a national data bureau, which is responsible for coordinating and promoting the construction of basic data systems, coordinating the integration, sharing, development and utilization of data resources, and coordinating the planning and construction of digital China, digital economy and digital society. It can be seen that the establishment of the National Data Bureau corresponds to the digital strategic transformation of the whole country, which is of great significance to the development and sharing of data resources, as well as the formulation of data policies and the exchange of data transactions. We also expect data elements to further stimulate market potential, release innovation vitality and further empower the high-quality development of the digital economy.

VR（Virtual Reality）

Virtual reality (including augmented reality and mixed reality) is an important frontier direction of the new generation of information technology and a major forward-looking field of digital economy, which will profoundly change the production and lifestyle of human beings. After years of development, the virtual reality industry has initially built an ecosystem based on technological innovation, and is entering a strategic window period with product upgrading and integrated application as the main line.

At present, domestic and foreign technology giants continue to exert their efforts in the virtual reality industry, and the sensing, interaction, modeling and presentation technologies of virtual reality have continuously made breakthroughs, and users’ experience in interaction, display and wearing comfort has also been continuously improved. With vr-platform’s common problems such as wearing dizziness and transmission delay being gradually solved, the production industry of virtual reality content such as movies, games, social interaction and live broadcast has gradually matured, and the virtual reality industry has become increasingly mature and perfect in hardware, software and content applications.

In recent years, the state attaches great importance to the iterative development of virtual reality technology, and has issued a number of policies such as the Action Plan for the Integration of Virtual Reality and Industrial Applications (2022-2026). Breakthroughs in research and development of key sub-sectors such as near-eye display, rendering processing, perceptual interaction, network transmission, content production, compression coding, security and trustworthiness will be the focus of industrial development and technical research in the next period. Thanks to this, virtual reality will further strengthen its deep integration with new generation information technologies such as 5G and artificial intelligence, and the endogenous ability and empowerment ability of "Virtual Reality" will be effectively improved.

China’s virtual reality innovation ability will be significantly enhanced. A systematic innovation system of multi-technology integration and Industry-University-Research’s efficient collaboration has basically taken shape, and important breakthroughs have been made in key core technologies such as near-eye display and rendering processing. Virtual reality standards have been further studied and formulated, and a number of radio and television and network audio-visual virtual reality production experimental zones and virtual reality empowerment stage art digital production experimental zones have been built. It is estimated that by 2026, the overall scale of China’s virtual reality industry (including related hardware, software, applications, etc.) will exceed 350 billion yuan, and the sales of virtual reality terminals will exceed 25 million units.

Voice of deputies

Li Dongsheng, NPC deputy and chairman of TCL:

We must break through the key core technology of "sticking the neck"

Li Dongsheng, deputy to the National People’s Congress and founder and chairman of TCL, said: "The government work report presents the overall achievements of China’s economic and social development in the past five years, and puts forward practical suggestions and goals for future development, which is inspiring and inspiring. Under the current situation, scientific and technological innovation is not only a development issue, but also a survival issue. For high-quality development, technological innovation is the first driving force. "

Li Dongsheng said: "China’s science and technology manufacturing industry will play an extremely important role in high-quality development. Under the current situation, we can only take the road of self-reliance and self-improvement through science and technology, and we must break through the key core technologies of’ stuck neck’, such as integrated circuits, precision materials, core devices, high-end equipment and other fields. "

In addition, the government work report once again emphasizes the need to highlight the main position of enterprise innovation and let enterprises play a greater role in scientific and technological innovation. In the past five years, the annual scale of various tax incentives to support innovation has exceeded one trillion yuan, which greatly encouraged the confidence of enterprises to invest in R&D and enhanced their innovation momentum. "Enterprises are duty-bound to continue to promote scientific and technological innovation. I feel a great responsibility. In the future, we should focus on the weak links in the industrial chain, dare to advance into the technology no man’s land, and dare to tackle major technical problems. " Li Dongsheng said.

Zhou Yunjie, deputy to the National People’s Congress and chairman of the board of directors of Haier Group:

Strengthening the national strategic scientific and technological strength with scientific and technological innovation

At this year’s National People’s Congress, Zhou Yunjie, Chairman and CEO of Haier Group, submitted "Suggestions on Giving Full Play to the Role of Leading Enterprises in Science and Technology and Improving the Coordination Mechanism of National Strategic Science and Technology Forces", focusing on the system and mechanism problems existing in the coordination organization of various scientific and technological forces, the stimulation of talents’ vitality and the improvement of talents’ ability, and making suggestions for strengthening China’s strategic science and technology forces and realizing high-level scientific and technological self-reliance.

"To establish a scientific and technological innovation system in the whole industry chain, enterprises, universities and research institutes should establish a targeted innovation system from the perspective of the whole industry chain, so that the innovation of 0→1 and 1→N can be seamlessly connected." Zhou Yunjie gave such suggestions for building an innovation consortium and enhancing the national strategic scientific and technological strength. He pointed out that a group of leading enterprises in science and technology should be selected, and the enterprises should take the lead in organizing universities and scientific research institutions to carry out the whole process pilot of "industrial demand-technical problems-scientific research-industrial application" with special support methods such as "revealing the list and taking the lead", forming a model that can be used for reference and replicated.

"After the product economy and platform economy, the future will be an ecological economy. Enterprises and universities must tear down the walls. Only when cross-border integration forms an innovative ecology can they develop better." Zhou Yunjie believes that the deep integration of schools and enterprises can cultivate more talents that meet the needs of the times and fully release the vitality of scientific and technological talents.

Liu Qingfeng, deputy to the National People’s Congress and chairman of Iflytek:

Continue to promote the R&D and upgrading of cognitive intelligence big model technology in China.

At present, the breakthrough of cognitive intelligence technology represented by ChatGPT has aroused global hot discussion and concern. Liu Qingfeng proposed that we should speed up the construction of a large model of cognitive intelligence in China, and let the industry enjoy the AI dividend as soon as possible on the self-controlled platform, so that everyone can have an AI assistant.

At present, although many institutions and enterprises in China have released a series of large models, they have not really taken the systematic algorithm paths such as pre-training of large models, supervised training based on Prompt tasks and reinforcement learning based on human feedback, and the intelligence level of large models is still significantly lower than that of ChatGPT.

ChatGPT-like R&D is a systematic project with continuous evolution, with high task difficulty and large investment. It is suggested that China should take leading scientific and technological enterprises as the main body of innovation, unite national strategic scientific and technological forces such as national laboratories and national key laboratories, build a long-term and stable cooperative innovation system in Industry-University-Research under the overall planning and support of national special projects, and continue to promote the technological R&D and upgrading of China’s cognitive intelligence model. In addition, in order to support the domestic hardware and software technology base of artificial intelligence for large-scale model research and development and service, China cognitive intelligence model can only have a self-controlled future if it is developed on the domestic technology base.

The research and development and service of large-scale models can only be promoted safely and continuously for a long time on the domestic basic software and hardware platforms such as storage, computing power and operating system, effectively avoiding the "stuck neck" problem in some links in the future. Support large-scale model research and development institutions to establish long-term strategic cooperation with domestic artificial intelligence software and hardware institutions, and work together to ensure that the technical base is autonomous and controllable.

Guo Lei, deputy of the National People’s Congress and professor of Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics:

Based on basic theory and full chain innovation, serving the country’s major needs

The national strategic scientific and technological strength has been accelerated, and important progress has been made in tackling key core technologies. But we also deeply feel that there are still uncertainties and unpredictable risks in the international situation. The vast number of scientific and technological workers can play an important role in the new journey of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, which is both a great honor and a great responsibility. We will continue to carry forward the spirit of perseverance in serving the country, solve difficult problems and activate our strength, and make greater contributions to the country’s high-level science and technology.

Guo Lei believes that it is necessary to apply the wisdom of the vast number of scientific researchers to the places where the motherland needs them most. He suggested that from the aspects of scientific research system, talent incentive and evaluation mechanism, the whole chain innovation from basic theoretical research, algorithms, software, hardware and equipment to major engineering applications should be carried out in order to accelerate the close integration of basic theoretical research and major national needs and realize the dialectical unity of these two major goals.

Deng Zhonghan, member of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and commander-in-chief of Starlight China Core Project:

The core technical standard is the commanding height of scientific and technological innovation

During the two sessions of the National People’s Congress this year, Deng Zhonghan, member of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and commander-in-chief of "Starlight China Core Project", proposed that in the post-Moore era, we should continue to innovate with high quality to build a self-reliant and self-reliant ecosystem.

He said that in the new era and new situation, the drive of high-quality innovation is closely integrated with the destiny of the country, and strong innovation will make the country prosperous. Scientific and technological innovation is an important force in national construction and development, which provides a strong support for the construction of an innovative country and a strong country in science and technology. In Deng Zhonghan’s view, scientific and technological workers should have the mind and responsibility to serve the country through science and technology, sit on the bench for ten years, have patience and confidence, devote themselves to continuous innovation and high-quality innovation of key technologies, and open up a new track for scientific and technological innovation in the post-Moore era.

Deng Zhonghan called on the government and scientific and technological enterprises to pay attention to the study of core technical standards, and hoped to get the support of the whole society, because scientific and technological innovation can not be separated from standard innovation, and core technical standards have become the commanding heights of scientific and technological innovation. Standards are an important support for scientific and technological innovation and economic and social development, an important carrier of technical rules and basic systems, and are related to national competitiveness, international discourse power and the strategic overall situation of the global industrial chain.

Guo Yufeng, member of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and deputy general manager of Feiteng Company:

Continue to promote the breakthrough of core chip industry and build a secure base for digital economy.

As the cornerstone of industrial development in the era of digital economy, chips are directly related to the national strategic security and industrial development security, and are also an important support for realizing self-reliance and self-reliance in science and technology. Guo Yufeng believes that unswervingly and vigorously developing domestic CPU is an inevitable choice for national strategy and industrial development. Only by continuously promoting breakthroughs in the core chip industry can we build a secure base for the digital economy.

In order to promote and support the development of chip industry, the state has successively issued a series of industrial support policies, which have promoted the rapid development of domestic CPU through the application of major projects. Domestic software and hardware products have gradually realized the rapid development from "unavailable" to "available" and then to "basically easy to use", and the domestic ecology has shown the development trend from weak and closed to prosperous and open, and has also realized the application from pilot to small scale and then to large scale.

In view of the severe challenges faced by domestic chips at present, we should give full play to the advantages of the new national system, concentrate on tackling difficulties, make overall plans for key layouts, strengthen market practice to help products mature, and pool market resources to feed back scientific and technological innovation, so as to break through difficulties.

The first suggestion is to adhere to the development concept of "paying equal attention to autonomy and ecology" and accelerate the convergence of technical routes. The second is to give play to the role of enterprises as the main body of innovation and accelerate the establishment of a positive cycle of R&D and market. The third is to seize the key opportunities of industrial transformation and achieve breakthroughs in the information industry.

No.418, Suilun, Changdi Village, Zhuanghang Town, Fengxian District. The owner of this old house is Feng Kaimin.

In the past 40 years, this old rural house has experienced the same vicissitudes as other old rural houses: mottled walls, broken roof tiles and damaged facilities. However, just as the Spring Festival comes in 2024, it has undergone great changes-the unified style of white walls and gray tiles, the scattered layout of the front hall, the central garden and the backyard, with simple and generous doors and windows … attracting many relatives and friends to visit.

For Feng Kaimin, it is his long-cherished dream that a whole family can spend the Spring Festival in the "new house" and share a happy reunion.

What will the old rural house look like?

At present, there are 175 villages and about 100,000 farmers in Fengxian, and most of their old rural houses were also built in the 1980s. Prior to this, with the increasingly prominent "old, broken and old", more and more young villagers left the countryside and entered the urban area, living a "one city and one township" life with their parents. Nowadays, with the deepening of rural revitalization, the rural living environment is becoming more and more beautiful and comfortable. A large number of young villagers are eager to "go home" and want to live with their relatives and return to their childhood. Feng Kaimin is one of them.

According to the Measures for the Administration of Rural Villagers’ Housing Construction in Fengxian District, in recent years, in fact, there are many villagers who have built, rebuilt, expanded or renovated their old houses in rural areas, and many new problems have also arisen. For example, the house is very new, but it doesn’t conform to the aesthetics of young people. The house is beautiful, but the interior design doesn’t highlight comfort more. For another example, the transformation is quite conspicuous, and it is out of place with other old houses, or it is out of harmony with the surrounding style, and the villagers are not willing to visit …

There are also clever villagers who "smell" the opportunity of "homestead reform" and "wait" for the government to act as a "intermediary" to transfer the right to use the homestead and let the third party rejuvenate the old house. But such a good thing can’t happen to every village, and it can’t be applied to every family. The vast majority of villagers still have to improve their living environment by themselves and work together to build beautiful countryside. However, it is a headache to create what kind of house can not only be in harmony with the present rural beauty, but also be compatible with the homesickness of the older generation and the living habits of the new generation.

Be a crab eater once.

In 2020, introduced by a friend, Feng Kaimin walked into the Fennel Studio in Fengxian and got to know Tang Yue and Liao Chen, two old house renovation designers. Among them, the former, a native of Fengxian, is eager to use rich experience in space design to reshape the old house in the hearts of the villagers; The latter is an international prize winner of architectural design in the field of old house renovation.

Their arrival brought another idea for Feng Kaimin to transform his old house, that is, while retaining the original appearance of the old house, remodeling its pattern at a price acceptable to the villagers, so that it can meet the living needs of four generations. Feng Kaimin said that this was an attempt he had never thought of before.

In fact, the transformation of the old house will encounter many intangible and tangible restrictions. On the one hand, the local government hopes that the style of houses in rural areas can be unified, so as to avoid the visual pollution caused by too diverse house styles, thus creating the overall aesthetic feeling of the countryside. On the other hand, to transform the 40-year-old old house is equivalent to a large-scale "operation" in the "shell", otherwise it will be difficult to break its original state and give it new life functions. However, it takes a lot of trouble, and the villagers can’t help worrying, and it costs no money.

For the renovation of the old house, the family also has their own opinions. Feng Kaimin wants to hand over the old house to professionals to find his childhood home within his ability. What father Feng Jianqiang and mother Sun Huijuan originally thought was that, like other villagers in the village, they would whitewash the walls, repair the roof, and then transform the bathroom so that the old couple could live. Perhaps out of the desire for reunion, the year before last, the family finally reached an agreement and took out a budget of 600,000 yuan to be a "crab eater".

And Tang Yue and Liao Chen’s affection for the rural old house was deeply recognized by Feng Kaimin’s family. "When Tang Yue entered the door, he told me that this wooden door must be left, because this is the iconic door of the old house; There is also the ground between the guest rooms, which is the ground of water mill. These are the marks of the old rural houses. " Feng Kaimin said that it is worthwhile to give the house to a designer who loves the countryside and has special feelings for the old house.

Traditional and modern, old houses welcome new students.

The process of transformation is a long and prone to friction.

Tang Yue said that Feng’s old house consists of two buildings. The former building is a traditional two-story structure and is the main area of daily life. The back house, formerly a thatched cottage, is in a collapsed state. There is also a small open space between the two buildings, all of which add up to 288 square meters. At that time, the first design plan was to open the living room, kitchen, open space and back room of the front building and divide it into three areas: the front building retains the characteristics of the old house and does not break the existing living habits of the elderly; The middle open space is endowed with the beauty of garden by Chinese landscape design, which makes the old house unique; The back room is mainly designed with floor-to-ceiling windows to create a leisure space for young people. On the second floor, according to the needs of young people, the master bedroom, second bedroom, study room, leisure room, etc. are designed, and the style is beautiful as a homestay. During this period, the old man also had many doubts, such as "Will the door be opened too much?" "The wall is torn down and the glass is replaced, and the house is still not firm." "The functions are so scattered that it is inconvenient to eat, go to the toilet and sleep." … After repeated communication and explanation, this year, the old house finally ushered in a complete new life.

"Now these three areas are interconnected and independent, both traditional and modern, suitable for the elderly and meet the needs of young people." Feng Kaimin said that when he was a child, he could walk in the dark in his old house. He was familiar with where the switch was and where the stairs were. Now, he can also walk in the dark in my old house, and the memory of my old house is still completely preserved in this old house. "Including guests from home, relatives and neighbors, it is the same as the countryside when I was a child, without slippers. I think this is my old house. Although it has become more comfortable and more in line with the living needs of our young people, it is still the home I want in my heart. Now, he, his wife and daughter have all moved their lives to the countryside, because for them, today’s old house is no different from the living facilities enjoyed by urban residents.

How does the old house create its own poems and distant places?

This year’s Spring Festival, Feng’s old house ushered in an unprecedented excitement. Father Feng Jianqiang loves watching TV, so he sits in the living room and watches TV. Sun Huijuan, the mother, has a good popularity. Old sisters and relatives from the homestead come to visit and gather in the kitchen to make wonton and fry cakes, talking and laughing to celebrate the arrival of the New Year. Feng Kaimin, on the other hand, enjoys reading, writing, singing and playing guitar with his friends in the city in the back room.

As soon as the cake in the front room is baked, the young people in the back room can also taste it. As soon as the Spring Festival couplets in the back room were finished, they ran to the front room to add joy to the old people. Feng Jianqiang said: "Through the transformation, the popularity of the old house is getting more and more, which is really good. The old man doesn’t want to see anything, but he wants to be lively. " Sun Huijuan also said: "My son and daughter-in-law have come back to live, and neighbors often come to get together at home, feeling that the harmonious atmosphere in this countryside is getting stronger and stronger."

Beautiful countryside, in Feng Kaimin’s view, we must first make the old houses beautiful. Through the renovation of the old house, he wants to tell his peers that the renovation does not need to be expensive to realize his wishes. He also often shares his back house, hoping that more and more young villagers will walk into Feng’s old house and learn the story of the rejuvenation of the old house, so as to attract more and more villagers to join this spontaneous transformation and create their own poems and distant places.

At present, with the help of Fennel Studio, many villagers have followed suit in Zhuanghang Town, Zhelin Town, Xidu Street and Situan Town. These villagers said that, just like the name of Fennel Studio, "Fennel" has the same pronunciation as "going back to hometown". "While enjoying the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River and the charm of the water town, you can enjoy the neighborhood and family. This is the annual taste of Fengxian."

"I haven’t billed for more than a week. I have been in this business for more than 20 years. This year is a career bottleneck."

Sister Liu is a salesman in a clothing store on Weihai Road, Jing ‘an District. She wondered, everyone is traveling in revenge, eating and drinking. Why don’t they just love buying clothes?

Consumption growth returns to 2019

Judging from the household consumption data released by the National Bureau of Statistics, in the first and second quarters of this year, the year-on-year growth rate of per capita consumption expenditure maintained a positive growth, and the cumulative growth rate in the second quarter reached 7.6%, the highest in the past year.

If we set aside the low base of last year, compared with the same period in 2021, the compound growth rate of per capita consumption accumulated expenditure in the second quarter of this year was 5.38%.exceed2019Year-on-year growth in the second quarter of, and2019The average growth rate of the whole year was similar.

That is to say,The overall consumption situation has basically recovered to2019Year-on-year level.

However, judging from the growth trend of CPI,The consumption desire of residents is on the decline.

CPI is the consumer price index, and the falling prices reflect the declining demand, sluggish consumption and low desire of residents.

According to the data of the Bureau of Statistics, since the beginning of this year, the simultaneous growth of CPI has been limited, and the growth rate has shown a downward trend. In July, it was even negative, down 0.3% year-on-year.

Eat too much and wear less.

If the overall consumption situation has been restored to 2019, then why is the business of Sister Liu’s clothing store not satisfactory?

Because the consumption structure of residents has changed—Eat more, wear less and use less.

Comparing the consumption structure of residents in the first half of this year and the first half of 2019, it is found that the proportion of food, tobacco and alcohol expenditure has increased the most, reaching 2.1%, and the proportion of other consumption has decreased except medical care.

Among them,Clothes are the most reduced, accounting for a decrease of 1.1%.

In the words of Wang Cheng (a pseudonym),Consumption degradation is the theme of this year. If the "exquisite life" can be reduced, it will be reduced. The main theme is "spend a little money and buy big happiness".

Wang Cheng, a financial risk manager, shares her daily expenses in the little red book. Her head is also straightforward, a piggy bank with the characters "engage in money".

According to Wang Cheng’s account, her spending on clothing and skin care has been greatly reduced this year. Originally, she planned to spend 5,000 yuan and 2,000 yuan respectively, but until August, she only spent less than 1,400 yuan on clothing and almost zero on skin care, only 16 yuan.

"The basic principle is one in one, and the auxiliary principle is not to buy as much as possible." Wang Cheng said. After all, clothes can be worn as long as they are not worn, and it is a little bit economical.

Tourism consumption exceeds budget

However, due to three years’ restraint, traveling and vacationing can’t be saved, which has become the only project that Wang Cheng has exceeded the budget this year. In July, Wang Cheng went to Sanya for a holiday and spent more than 10,000 yuan.

Wang Cheng’s consumption mentality is very representative, namely"The tourism market is booming, and non-essential expenses have dropped sharply".

In the first half of this year, the number of domestic tourists reached 2.384 billion, close to the whole year of 2022, with a year-on-year increase of 63.9%.

The per capita expenditure on tourism has also increased, with an increase of 19.3% compared with 2022, which has also exceeded the per capita expenditure in 2019. Among them, the year-on-year increase of per capita domestic tourism expenditure of urban residents reached 21.64%.

Don’t change your mobile phone if you can.

On the other hand, non-necessities such as mobile phones encounter the same "bleak" dilemma as "clothing"-As long as it still works, you don’t have to change it..

According to statistics, in the first half of this year, China’s smartphone shipments were the lowest in the past decade.

For example, Xiaomi’s revenue in the first quarter of this year fell by 18.9% year-on-year, and the revenue of mobile phone business fell even more, reaching 30.8%.

The property market dragged down the consumption of household appliances and furniture.

It is not only non-durable small commodities such as clothes and mobile phones that cannot be sold, but also houses are difficult to sell.

According to statistics, as of July, the transaction volume of commercial housing in 30 large and medium-sized cities in China decreased by 3.98% year-on-year. Except for the first-tier cities, which increased by 15.54% year-on-year, the growth rate of second-and third-tier cities was negative, and the second-tier cities decreased more, with a decrease of 13.22%.

The house is difficult to sell, which is related to related industries and commodities.

According to the data released by the National Bureau of Statistics, from January to July, the retail sales of consumer goods above designated size showed a positive growth trend, with a year-on-year increase of 7.1% and a compound growth of 5.6%.

But among the 18 categories of goods,The compound growth rate of three kinds of commodities is negative, including household appliances, furniture, building and decoration materials.

Among them, building and decoration materials are the most affected.

As of July, the current value of retail sales of such goods was 91.6 billion yuan, down 11.6% from last year, and the compound growth rate dropped by 6.2%.

Corresponding to specific enterprises, such as Red Star Macalline, which specializes in furniture, it is estimated that the net profit returned to the mother in the first half of this year will decrease by 860 million yuan to 890 million yuan, down by 83.9% to 96.8%.

Car price war

However,Cars that are also big-ticket goods still have a certain market for new energy vehicles, and major brands have launched "price wars" one after another, and then superimposed the preferential policies introduced by the central and local governments, the sales volume is still rising.

According to the data of China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, as of July, the sales of new energy vehicles exceeded 4.52 million, a year-on-year increase of 42.1%.

On the whole, in the current consumer market, "retaliatory consumption" appears in markets such as tourism and movies, and there is still much room for improvement in domestic demand, especially in real estate, and there is still a structural demand shortage in low-tier cities.

In this regard, Professor Liu Qiao from Guanghua School of Management, Peking University suggested that the problem of declining balance sheet quality of residents and enterprises caused by the epidemic can be solved through active fiscal policies, and investment in node industries can be vigorously promoted.

On the consumer side, direct transfer payments can be made to residents by issuing cash and coupons, which not only enhances individual families’ willingness and ability to consume, but also effectively supports market players to promote a virtuous circle in the market.
